In
a review of 27 past studies, New Zealand researchers report that any
type of exercise has significant benefits for those suffering from Type
2 diabetes. It also appears that the more severe the extent of the
diabetes is, the more effective exercise will be. Researchers
did find resistance training combined with cardiovascular exercise
appears to be the most beneficial for controlling blood sugar in type 2
diabetics. It's also essential for type 2 diabetics to follow important
dietary recommendations for their disease, as incorporation of exercise
and dietary modifications will have far greater benefits than either
exercise or dietary modifications alone.

In
the review of two clinical trials, Danish researchers have found that
hand massage appears to calm patients suffering from dementia - the
predominant symptom of Alzheimer's patients. The effects of
dementia are difficult to manage - wandering, difficulty with eating
and bathing, anxiety, confusion and agitation. It is very exciting to
explore treatment methods such as therapeutic touch and massage in
order to assist the relief of these problems naturally. While more
studies are needed to evaluate the effects of massage on patients
suffering from dementia, it is clear that different forms of
therapeutic touch and massage have some very powerful and as of yet
unexplored benefits on the human body.

During
ABC's new popular program, Dancing With The Stars, football great
Emmitt Smith discussed his key relationship with his chiropractor,
Robert Parker, DC. The show included footage showing Smith
receiving treatment from Dr. Parker prior to his dance competition; Dr.
Parker has been treating Smith since 1995. According to head judge Len
Goodman, Smith went on to deliver "the best samba of the night". During
the same episode, two of the show's dancing professionals, Karina
Smirnoff and Ashly DelGrosso, were dancing injured. As a result,
program producers had a chiropractor standing by just in case the women
needed treatment.
